Ok, I updated the sg documentation in CVS, so that it now contains
a warning on aspect ratios.

I think some script needs to be run, to update the website from CVS,
but I dont know how to do this. So I can't say when the change will
show up in the webpage.

The warning I've put in, reads:

"When using setFOV, the application programmer should be
aware that aspect ratios are not enforced, thus these
ratios can deviate from the window aspect ratio.
If this happens, a sphere will look like an ellipse."
